The Call of Duty League (CDL) has announced a three-year partnership with the Esports World Cup Foundation, confirming Call of Duty as an official title in the Saudi Arabia-based tournament.

This collaboration aims to extend the competitive CoD season through summer, with events taking place in Riyadh. The partnership builds upon last year's successful 16-team tournament, where Atlanta FaZe emerged victorious against a mix of professional teams and qualifiers.

Daniel Tsay, General Manager of Call of Duty Esports, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership's potential to expand competitive Call of Duty opportunities. The agreement includes both traditional CoD esports and Warzone tournaments.

Key Details:

• Three-year partnership agreement
• Competition includes both CDL teams and qualifiers
• Warzone tournaments will continue as part of the program
• CDL Championship Weekend expected in June
• Esports World Cup to follow shortly after

The partnership has faced criticism due to Saudi Arabia's stance on LGBTQIA+ rights, with some prominent esports figures, including FGC legend SonicFox, declining to participate in previous events.
